    I forget the title but there was a Superman game on original Xbox that gave Metropolis a health bar, Not Superman.

    Beating up bad guys, stopping disasters and completing missions helped the city survive. Getting hit meant a few seconds where you were inactive and the city might take more damage.

    It was a pretty inspired idea honestly. I don’t think the game was excellent but good design choice.

      Theater was the Superman Returns movie tie-in. The game wasn’t good, but the health system for the city was a neat idea, and the flying was AMAZING.

      There’s never been a bad game with an element I enjoyed so much as Superman Returns and the flying.
